communist programs began before political change. Instead of<br />
hindering the change, democratization facilitated these changes.<br />

Trade Capacity Building: Based on Donor Interest or Recipient<br />

or is the U.S. attempting to use aid in pursuit of its own interests<br />

Paper Explaining the Gender Gap in <strong>Political</strong> Knowledge<br />
Several studies have found that women are less knowledgeable<br />
about politics than men. We propose that the gap in knowledge can<br />
be explained by risk aversion, which suggests women are less likely<br />
than men to guess when they don't know an answer.<br />

Paper The Institutional Determinants of Anticorruption in China:<br />
Evidences From Revealed Corruption Cases Across Provinces<br />
This paper studies the regional variances of anti-corruption in<br />
China. We hypothesize that revealed corruption cases are affected<br />
by the local representation in the center, the strength of insiders and<br />
political turnover of the provincial leadership.<br />

Effects of Economic Openness on Corruption: Firm-level<br />

A substantial literature argues that international openness should<br />
lower corruption. Data from firm-level surveys suggest that trade<br />
activity may actually increase firms' bribe-paying behavior, but that<br />
foreign ownership has little effect.<br />

Paper Mixed Effects of Diversity on Interethnic Trust: Ethnically<br />

Ethnic diversity does not always produce lower interethnic trust in<br />
divided, democratizing states. The effect of ethnic homogeneity and<br />
heterogeneity depends on ethnic group social status. Heterogeneity<br />
can produce more trust than homogeneity.<br />

Paper Re-examining Bridge Actors in Creating Common Space Ideal<br />
Points<br />
Bridge actors are useful in scaling ideal points into common<br />
space across legislative chambers and beyond. Yet we do not well<br />
understand the requirements for successful bridging to take place.<br />
This paper addresses this big gap in the literature.<br />

Paper Assessing our Assessments of the One-Dimensional Congress<br />
The predominant assumption in the literature is that Congress is<br />
one-dimensional. We conduct Monte Carlo simulations to assess<br />
how accurately ideal point estimation techniques recover (1) ideal<br />
points on the second dimension, and (2) dimensionality.<br />

Paper Dimensional Collapse in Legislative Voting: Unearthing a<br />
Methods Artifact<br />
Probabilistic spatial voting simulations show how multidimensional<br />
legislative voting appears one-dimensional if parties are polarized<br />
and the majority pulls bill content in its favor. Thus, dimensional<br />
analysis may obscure true preference structure.<br />

Paper Realism vs. Idealism in Ukrainian Politics and the 2007 <strong>Political</strong><br />
Crisis<br />
Different patterns of decision-making adopted by opposing political<br />
forces after the 2006 elections (idealism by the president and<br />
realism by the governing coalition) have caused the 2007 crisis<br />
contributing to political and legal nihilism in Ukraine.<br />

Paper Estimating Spatial Models of Two Candidate Competition<br />
We develop a method for estimating the utility functions of voters<br />
and candidates in two candidate elections. We apply our method to<br />
U.S. Senate elections. Our results indicate that a "revised" spatial<br />
model fits the data well.<br />

Paper Choosing Between Multinomial Logit and Multinomial Probit<br />

This paper uses computer simulations to compare the accuracy of<br />

of severity. I find that MNL is (almost) always a more accurate<br />
model to use than MNP for researchers in the field.<br />

and Uganda<br />
Due to the multi-ethnic, multi-regional and multi-religious nature<br />

obsessed with and paranoid about national unity, which has forced<br />
them to pursue policies that are undemocratic.<br />

Crisis Patronage in Ghana: A Natural Experiment<br />
Local African politics are typically understood in terms of “Big<br />
